The RY3NO (or Rip Ya 3 New Ones[1]) is a weapon manufactured by Gadgetron in Up Your Arsenal. It launches eight separate explosive missiles at targets, which upgrade to energy blasts that disintegrate targets instead.

The RY3NO can only be purchased in challenge mode, for 3,000,000 bolts, and can be upgraded to the RYNOCIRATOR with use. The RYNOCIRATOR functions fundamentally differently, instead combining all its blasts into one which destroys all enemies on screen. It cannot be upgraded to a mega weapon.

The RY3NO was the first RYNO introduced that could be upgraded.

Characteristics

The RY3NO is a brown weapon with an octagonal barrel. It features eight missiles surrounding its main nozzle, and a left-hand grip. The RYNOCIRATOR appears very similar, though its missiles are much thicker in shape.

Combat

The RY3NO launches eight auto-targeting missiles which can each destroy any enemy. At V2, this changes to twelve energy blasts which disintegrate enemies instead, which in turn changes to fourteen at V3 and sixteen at V4. As the RYNOCIRATOR, it fundamentally changes, instead combining the energy blasts together and destroying all enemies on screen.

There is no strategy to this weapon, as it will destroy all enemies. While its ammo is expensive, it easily destroys most threats, and the player is likely to be very rich by this point, meaning there is little reason to conserve ammo. However, it is completely ineffective against bosses, particularly against Nefarious as it is more focused towards targeting multiple threats than a single one. It is important to note that by the time the weapon is unlocked and upgraded, there is little in the game that will pose a threat to the player anyway, and so they may choose to avoid purchasing until needing a trophy.
